00:00:05.238 --> 00:00:05.638
Urine

00:00:05.638 --> 00:00:09.109
specimens are routinely tested
for physical and chemical properties.

00:00:09.109 --> 00:00:12.278
A positive bilirubin result
during this initial screening

00:00:12.278 --> 00:00:15.248
may prompt
for the performance of the ecto test.

00:00:15.382 --> 00:00:19.552
The actor test will be demonstrated using
positive and negative control specimens.

00:00:19.886 --> 00:00:21.821
Positive identification of a specimen

00:00:21.821 --> 00:00:24.824
must be maintained
throughout the complete testing process.

00:00:25.658 --> 00:00:29.229
Supplies needed to perform
this test include paper towels.

00:00:29.429 --> 00:00:35.335
Ecto test tablets, Ecto test absorbent
mats, disposable pipettes, a timer,

00:00:35.568 --> 00:00:39.973
a permanent marker, tweezers,
and the manufacturer's color chart

00:00:40.540 --> 00:00:44.577
using a permanent marker, label the area
of the paper towel for each specimen

00:00:44.611 --> 00:00:48.581
placed one of the Ecto test absorbent test
mats onto the paper towel.

00:00:48.581 --> 00:00:52.018
For each specimen,
the specimen must be thoroughly mixed

00:00:52.018 --> 00:00:55.021
by gently
inverting a minimum of eight times.

00:00:55.088 --> 00:00:57.957
Carefully
remove the cap from the specimen container

00:00:57.957 --> 00:01:00.960
and place it specimen
side up onto the benchtop

00:01:01.194 --> 00:01:04.163
using a disposable
pipette, dispense ten drops

00:01:04.163 --> 00:01:07.166
of the specimen
onto the center of the absorbent test mat.

00:01:07.500 --> 00:01:10.637
Dispose of the pipette
into a bio hazardous waste receptacle,

00:01:10.970 --> 00:01:14.774
and recap the specimen
using clean, dry tweezers.

00:01:14.774 --> 00:01:18.811
Remove one test tablet
per specimen from the bottle and place

00:01:18.811 --> 00:01:21.848
one tablet on the center of each moistened
area of the absorbent.

00:01:21.848 --> 00:01:22.749
Test mats.

00:01:22.749 --> 00:01:26.419
Ecto test tablets are sensitive
to light, heat, and moisture,

00:01:26.419 --> 00:01:28.955
so the bottle needs to be capped
and sealed immediately

00:01:28.955 --> 00:01:31.958
after removing a tablet,
and when not in use.

00:01:32.091 --> 00:01:36.162
Also, do not touch the tablets
with anything but the tweezers.

00:01:36.629 --> 00:01:40.166
Using a disposable pipette, dispense
one drop of laboratory

00:01:40.166 --> 00:01:44.070
grade water onto the tablet
and start a timer for 25 seconds.

00:01:44.470 --> 00:01:48.741
After 25 seconds, dispense
a second drop of water onto the tablet

00:01:48.975 --> 00:01:52.412
so the water runs off the tablet
and onto the absorbent test mat

00:01:52.578 --> 00:01:56.849
and start a timer for 60s at 60s.

00:01:56.916 --> 00:02:00.686
Compare the color on the absorbent test
mat against the manufacturer's

00:02:00.686 --> 00:02:03.890
color chart, and report
as either positive or negative.

00:02:04.624 --> 00:02:07.160
Development of any color
other than purple or blue

00:02:07.160 --> 00:02:09.429
should be considered a negative test
result.

00:02:09.429 --> 00:02:13.132
Discard the absorbent mat, tablet,
and paper towel into a bio

00:02:13.132 --> 00:02:14.634
hazardous waste receptacle.
